Kingston K-PEX Portable Media Player (2GB) review

Reviews It's no surprise to see Kingston enter the MP3 market with its K-PEX portable media player. Bundled with the player are earbuds, a nonstandard USB cable, a USB host cable, a rubbery protective case, and a software CD.

Freecom Network Media Player 350 WLAN review

Reviews We've had a look at a number of media streamers recently, most notably Apple TV and the Linksys KiSS 1600. While each has had its own pros and cons, we've yet to see a product that does everything we'd like to see from a media streamer.

Baylis Eco Media Player EP-MX71 review

Reviews When describing the Baylis Eco Media Player EP-MX71, it's hard not to think of treehouses, dreadlocks and music festivals. If you're more into video, then the Eco Media Player's bundled software will convert your favourite clips into ASV format.

The best way to spend £1,000

Reviews There's an upscaling Denon DVD player, which will help you get the best out of your DVD collection, and doesn't require you to buy your favourite films all over again on a next-generation disc format.

Great gadgets for under £200

Reviews While this isn't the latest Archos portable media player, you can find it for just £180 now. The Sling Media Slingbox is just such a device, letting you watch and control your TV at home on a PC or mobile phone.

Vosonic VP8360 review

Reviews The Vosonic VP8360 -- or Wolverine ESP as it's known Stateside -- is a portable media player, PVR, backup drive, 7-in-1 card reader and photo viewer. The player does support Windows Media Video, but we found a few compatibility issues with videos...

Creative Zen Portable Media Center review

Reviews FeaturesThere are other devices that can play video and music as well as display photos and store data files, but what sets the Creative Zen Portable Media Center apart is its dependence on Windows Media Player 10.0 (WMP10).

Microsoft Zune (30GB) review

Archos 704 Wi-Fi review

Reviews The Archos 704 Wi-Fi is the love child of a portable media player and a PDA. ConclusionThe 704's bulk means it won't appeal to everyone, as it's too large to be used as a day-to-day media player, but for those who often travel by plane or train...

Cowon A3 review

Reviews Cowon's A3 is the brother of the Q5W -- an extremely capable portable media player, that even came with Wi-Fi and Windows CE 5.0. Let it be known that this has the best screen we have ever seen on any media player -- it's so crisp it's hard not to...

Creative Zen Vision review

Reviews The Windows Media Player integration is seamless, and it has support for both DivX and XviD video, but until people can record video directly from their TV or digibox, these devices just won't become mainstream.

Cowon Q5W review

Reviews IM or BitTorrent client working on here easily -- it's an excessively-capable media player, not a Web browser and media portal like the iPod touch or the Archos 605 WiFi. But with prices starting at a whopping £400, this South Korean media player...
